Description

Discover more than 15 evidence-based treatments for trauma and PTSD, from medications and specific forms of therapy to trauma-informed yoga and emotional support animals.

Globally, an estimated 70% of individuals will experience a potentially traumatic event during their lifetime and 6% will develop PTSD. Despite its widespread prevalence in our families, schools, workplaces, and military, people living with the effects of severe trauma often feel lost and alone in the challenges they face.

The book begins by outlining what trauma is, how it's diagnosed and classified, the many long-term consequences it can have, and foundational concepts in trauma recovery. Next, readers will discover more than 15 evidence-based treatment options, including those that focus on the brain and nervous system, the body, the mind, and interpersonal relationships. Each treatment option is explained in easy-to-understand language and potential limitations or risks are also addressed. Readers are given practical guidance on issues such as finding and accessing care, choosing a treatment method, and addressing setbacks on the road to recovery. Complementing the main text are first-hand accounts from patients and practitioners highlighting the real-world impacts of these treatment options.
